Remember to forget me!
I only plan on dropping real money...
£25 (currently $32ish USD) is my ceiling. Everything I own cost that or less, and smokes perfectly fine. I might be flexible for an extra £5 or so, but £50+ for a pipe is no go for me. There's no real value for me in anything other than function and ergonomics, which I've managed to get comfortably within my price range so far
Don’t want to take my LE pipes everywhere haha I’m thinking a falcon? It would be 50$ for the stem and bowl combo that I’m considering....
I'm considering a Falcon too, and that would require some flexibility on my financial limit. I can get a Hunter bowl on an International stem, for around £28. I can also get a meer lined bowl for about £23. That's two "pipes" for £51ish, albeit the meer lined on costing more than £25 in real terms. These would (should) handle my Virginia and Perique needs quite well - assuming the International curved stem is a sitter - I haven't been able to verify that yet.
I know the standard metal stems sit, but I'm not entirely sold on those. They kind of look like they're for smoking other things...
